You are not that important, and your influence is rapidly fading.
No indeed I'm not, and I am most pleased that it is, because I get annoyed a lot less. However, I hope I can tell the obvious, e.g. that bringing interesting ideas to wikien-l is most useful for debugging ideas - in terms of influence, you can only get consensus for changes on the wiki itself. (Something I point out to Marc Riddell when he's at his worst, and note his strange reluctance to actually engage himself with the community he champions so strongly.)
So if you want your ideas to go anywhere in finite time, I would suggest you would have to convince people on the wiki. And if you want to run them past wikien-l first, knock yourself out, but epic novels are likely to get a tl;dr.
You are of course under no obligation to listen to a word of this, and I fully expect you won't change your behaviour a dot. Ah well.
